Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell isn't getting off easy for silencing Senator Elizabeth Warren during the debate over now-confirmed Attorney General Jeff Sessions. On Wednesday night, a group of demonstrators gathered outside McConnell's home to read Coretta Scott King's 1986 letter opposing Sessions's nomination to a federal judgeship, according to DCist.

"The combination of the sexism of silencing one of the few female senators, and the fact that she was reading Coretta Scott King's words, outraged me," Ruth Eisenberg, one of the organizers, told DCist. "Really what we're trying to do is call attention to Jeff Sessions's lack of fitness to be attorney general."

About 100 people, mainly residents of Washington, D.C.'s Capitol Hill neighborhood, crowded around, chanting, "Listen to Coretta, say no to Sessions," and, "Be like Liz. Resist! Persist!" They also listened to women read King's letter, which called into question Sessions's record on civil rights.

"Anyone who has used the power of his office as United States attorney to intimidate and chill the free exercise of the ballot by citizens should not be elevated to our courts," King's letter reads. "Mr. Sessions has used the awesome powers of his office in a shabby attempt to intimidate and frighten elderly black voters. For this reprehensible conduct, he should not be rewarded with a federal judgeship."

During the debate over Sessions's nomination, McConnell invoked a Senate rule that prevents senators from disparaging other senators in order to stop Warren from reading the letter by King. Though Warren was barred from further participation in the debate, two other senators managed to read part of King's letter in the Senate. Warren herself also finished reading the letter on Facebook Live in a video that's now received more than 11 million views.
